About Me
Building software with business sense.
I'm a Full-Stack Software Engineer who combines modern web development, cybersecurity knowledge, and more than 20 years of operations leadership to build secure, user-focused applications that solve real-world business problems.
My Journey
A technical path shaped by real-world operations.
My path into software engineering has not been traditional, and that is one of my greatest strengths. Before building production applications, I spent more than 20 years leading restaurant operations, managing teams, improving systems, and solving complex business challenges in fast-paced environments.
That background changed the way I approach software. I do not just think about screens, components, or databases in isolation. I think about the people using the product, the workflow it supports, the business problem behind it, and the trust the application needs to earn.
I earned a Bachelor's degree in Game Programming and a Master's degree in Cybersecurity. That combination gives me a strong foundation in programming, problem-solving, secure systems, and user-centered product development.
What I Build
Modern applications with purpose, structure, and polish.
I specialize in building full-stack web applications using Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and modern backend services. My projects include social platforms, nonprofit systems, business websites, admin dashboards, registration workflows, donation systems, and client-focused tools.
Founder
Blue Byrd Development
Through Blue Byrd Development, I build custom websites and web applications for businesses and organizations that need a stronger, more modern digital presence.
My Difference
I build software from both the developer side and the business side.
What sets me apart is the combination of engineering skill, cybersecurity awareness, and real operational experience. I understand what it feels like when systems are inefficient, processes are unclear, and people need tools that actually make their work easier.
That perspective helps me build applications that are not only clean and maintainable, but also practical, secure, and aligned with real user needs.
